Crystal structures of neurotensin receptor subtype 1 (NTS1) allowed us to visualize the binding mode of the endogenous peptide hormone neurotensin and its pharmacologically active C-terminal fragment NT(8-13) within the orthosteric binding pocket of NTS1. Beneath the orthosteric binding pocket, we detected a cavity that exhibits different sequences in the neurotensin receptor subtypes NTS1 and NTS2. In this
神经降压素受体亚型1(NTS1)的晶体结构使我们能够可视化NTS1的正构结合口袋中内源性肽激素神经降压素及其药理活性C端片段NT(8-13)的结合模式。在正构结合袋下方,我们检测到一个在神经降压素受体亚型NTS1和NTS2中显示不同序列的腔。在这项研究中,我们使用NT(8-13)-Xaa类型的双向测试肽探索了这种变构结合口袋,其中NT(8-13)的C端部分连接至延伸至新发现口袋。我们的测试化合物对NTS1表现出纳摩尔亲和力,与亲本肽NT(8-13)相比,亚型选择性显着提高,并且在IP积累测定中具有激活受体的能力。
